For the first time, a daycare centre has been installed at Cannes, as part of Le Ballon Rouge, an initiative designed to make the festival more accessible to parents of young children.
The centre, which is open from 10am to 6pm until 24 May, costs €50 for the whole festival.
Le Ballon Rouge has proved popular, with 120 families signing up for this year’s festival, and plenty of others expressing an interest for next year.
There are also plans to bring Le Ballon Rouge to other festivals – with Rotterdam, Toronto, Berlin, San Sebastián and Venice are all reportedly interested.
